Often times the neck fails because the hose clamp is tightened too
 tight.  Also becoming brittle over time does not help the matter
 either and that is why I got a all metal radiator for my 200.  It works
 great and cools alot better.  My gauge stays around a the quarter mark
 on the highway while cruising compared to almost at the half before.
